About MCS RI:

Montessori Community School of RI is a socio-economically diverse school filled with children, ages 18 months to 6, exploring and growing each at their own pace! At MCS RI, we celebrate the uniqueness of each child and family, and create an environment where learning happens joyfully and naturally. The design of our new school building has beauty, comfort, and community at it's heart.

" To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely."

A team of designers/builders, school administrators, donors, board members, parents, and staff have been hard at work over the past two years making sure this vision could be actualized this school year! It finally is and everyone at MCS RI is thrilled to share this with you.
